NAFM at Pack Expo 2011 Las Vegas

NAFM Exhibits at PACK EXPO 2011 to Showcase In-Line Shrink Labeling MachineNAFM's LX-500 high-speed is an in-line shrink labeling machine with heavy duty construction. They will be displaying it along with other machines at the 2011 Pack Expo Las Vegas, booth C550.NAFM is headquartered in Anaheim, California, designs, engineers and manufactures Shrink Sleeve Labeling machines and complete lines of Shrink Tunnels and product-handling systems. NAFM has been in operation for 55 years and today the company has become a dynamic partner for its customers, creating harmonious synergies of mechanical and electronic engineering in container handling, label application and shrink finishing.While NAFM offers most advanced high-speed labelers with the speeds in excess of 600 cpm, its line-up includes machines for entry-level models for the first-timers as well as the medium output segment. As a global operator, NAFM manufactures its machines and components mostly in their contract facilities in Yokohama, Japan, Taipei and Chiayi, Taiwan. Every item is specified by NAFM’s engineers and fabricated to its strict US standards. All machines are brought over to its Orange County facility for final assembly, testing, FAT and customer training. We consider this as a commencement to the new life of our machines in our customer’s production line.

NAFM Exhibits at PACK EXPO 2011 to Showcase In-Line Shrink Labeling Machine NAFMs LX-500 high-speed is an in-line shrink labeling machine with heavy duty construction. They will be displaying it along with other machines at the 2011 Pack Expo Las Vegas, booth C550.ONTARIO, Cali, Sept. 22, 2011. NAFM will be attending the 2011 PACK EXPO Las Vegas from September26-28, 2011. They will be showcasing their LX-500 high-speed, in-line shrink labeling machine withheavy duty construction. NAFM will exhibit alongside the 1,600 exhibitors PACK EXPO Las Vegas bringsout yearly.NAFM’s PACK EXPO location will be at Booth C550 in Central Hall where they will be displaying anddemonstrating how the LX-500 is equipped with dual unwind system allowing continued operation witha brief splicing stop and how the shrink labeling or neck-banding operates up to 500 CPM on a singlehead “Bullet” technology.“NAFM attends PACK EXPO every year and we are proud to highlight the most advanced shrink sleevelabeling machines and shrink tunnels for your production lines, said Jacek Zdzienicki, NAFM VP Sales &Marketing.For a more technical look at the LX-500 machine and its capabilities, the roll of material is pulled on to afloating bullet (mandrel) by a set of drive rollers and driven by a servo-motor. The drive rollers providean accurate intermittent advance of the label material, controlled by a photo-eye sensor reading eachimpression.A set of six (typical) rotating blades cut the label as it stops momentarily on the bullet, then drive rollersslides the label further down on to the container. At this point, the label is in specific shape (cylindrical,oval, square, rectangle) given by the bullet (mandrel), and aligned precisely to the container for smoothtransfer.A timing screw or a spacing wheel can be provided for separation and alignment of the containers tocoincide with the label transfer. After the labels are applied, containers to coincide with the labeltransfer. After the labels are applied, containers may have to go through a label brush down device tomake certain that the bottom of the labels are flush against the conveyor surface.LX-500 is microprocessor controlled (PLC) and is equipped with a touch-screen control panel (HMI).The size change-over is simple and quick. The cut length can be changed electronically by touching thecontrol panel. For different diameter, a new set of timing screw and bullet (mandrel) are installed.Different bottle height is accommodated by raising or lowering the machine by motorized hoistingmechanism.A demonstration will be displayed at the PACK EXPO Las Vegas at NAFM booth C550.
